There's a new article on Ars Technica about a novel method to attack the
R.S.A. cryptosystem. You are hereby cordially invited to read it at

https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/09/theres-a-new-way-to-break-rsa-thats-faster-than-anything-weve-seen-before/

and weep.

The world has known for decades that the RSA cryptosystemrCOs days are numbered. Once quantum computing becomes practical (estimates for that
range from 3 to 20 or more years), the foundational security it provides
will crumble. New research has revealed a novel method that uses
classical computing to reduce the current RSA security level to an unacceptably low threshold.
